Why would something be wrong with someone treating themselves to something they enjoy?

Yeah, it doesn't work for me. I do admire your discipline though.

If I get them for Christmas/Holiday presents and I can't give them away, I open it, eat a few, and immediately throw the box away in the outside garbage. I might make it two days. Then I'll eat 1.8 pounds of chocolate on the third.

Had you heard of that...??

I guess there's some scientific evidence that the first few bites pack the most satisfaction.

It's good to know.

Now, if they just sold potato chip in 3 chip increments...lol.

Get some of those little snack baggies and portion out your chips in these. Then, you avoid the hand in the big bag (like I do with beet chips) and hopefully not over indulge.

I agree that sometimes just a taste or two is enough to satisfy a craving. It's why I always split a dessert.
